Doctors measure heart 'Stiffness' during surgery to understand valve disease
NCT ID NCT04358692
Summary
This study aimed to understand how aortic valve stenosis affects heart muscle stiffness. Researchers measured stiffness directly on the heart during surgery in 98 patients—some having valve replacement and others having bypass surgery. They used a special ultrasound technique to compare stiffness between the two groups and see how it relates to heart function.
